One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Ace grew up in the East Blue, and he also sailed out to sea in the East Blue.

Abel quickly thought about it and realized that there were indeed no noteworthy figures in the South China Sea, so he felt relieved.

Wait a minute……

"It seems that Bartholomew Big Bear is also from the South China Sea, and he was the king of some country, known as a 'tyrant'."

"But by this time, the bear should have already left his kingdom and joined the revolutionary army."

"As for joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea, that's a matter for several years from now."

Abel thought about it carefully and realized that he still had a deep impression of a certain event.

This refers to Monkey D. Dragon appearing in the East Blue with members of the Revolutionary Army and rescuing many survivors from the fire at the Uncertain Terminal in Windmill Village, Goa Kingdom.

He remembered that Emporio Ivankov, the transvestite king, and Bartholomew Big Bear were both there.

Moreover, based on the timeline, that event will occur next year.

Furthermore, Lightning also hails from the South China Sea...

Looking at it this way, it's not that the South China Sea lacks talent, but rather that it's all been poached by the revolutionary army.

"Holy crap, are the revolutionary army still in the South China Sea?"

Abel was suddenly startled by the thought that popped into his head.

"Forget it, I'd better keep a low profile and not get carried away."

Just then, Baby-5 walked over and said, "Abel, there's an island ahead. Shall we dock there?"

Abel nodded. “Put down the flag. Once we’re ashore, send a few clever men to gather information. We’ve just arrived in the South China Sea and are unfamiliar with the area. In the early stages, we need to find some local strongmen to help us open up arms sales channels.”

Soon, the fleet docked.

This time, Abel drew a considerable number of people from the periphery of the family.

The first batch of weapons was on the ship.

He can't do everything himself; he'd be exhausted.

After disembarking, Abel soon learned that this was a place called the Island of Bliss, which was ruled by a country called the Kingdom of Bliss, and had been ruled for hundreds of years.

Some of the ships docked at the port were flying a unique flag.

Chapter 360 Prince Pengpeng

The design on the flag caught Abel's attention because it bore a striking resemblance to the hoofprints of the Celestial Dragons.

A large circle contains a smaller, solid black circle, and then a black triangular arrow pointing outwards is drawn in each of the four directions: up, down, left, and right.

This is the symbol of the Kingdom of Bliss.

Furthermore, the ship's design is quite unique, featuring a 'snake head statue' at the front, with sharp teeth, an open mouth, and scale patterns carved on its neck.

It looks somewhat like a snake's head, but other parts seem ambiguous; I don't know exactly what it is.

Abel's main purpose in coming here was to gather information and find a stable sales channel for the smuggled weapons, so he entered the city without much thought.

The local customs and culture here are indeed different from those in other sea areas.

For example, when Abel was walking down the street, he noticed that all the locals had some kind of tar on their teeth.

You can see it as soon as it opens its mouth; it's very easy to tell.

I don't know what their purpose was.

After some curious inquiry, I learned that it is a custom unique to certain areas of the South China Sea that has been practiced for hundreds of years. It is not only done by some local residents of the Kingdom of Bliss, but also by people from many countries.

After wandering around for a while, Abel first rented a small manor as a place for himself and his companions to stay.

Then they waited for the others to organize and collect the intelligence.

Because of the short timeframe, there is currently very little useful information available.

Abel quickly finished reading and then locked onto one of his targets.

Bliss Pengpeng, 18 years old, is the current king's most beloved youngest son and also the most unruly playboy in the entire country.

Taking advantage of his favored status, he developed an arrogant, domineering, greedy, and lustful personality.

Every trip there causes immense suffering for the people.

At best, it means losing money to avoid disaster; at worst, it means the family is destroyed and people die.

It's not that no one has filed a complaint, but the entire island and the entire country are named after the Bliss family. Who would risk offending Prince Pengpeng just because a few commoners have died?

On the contrary, when the news reached Prince Pengpeng's ears, it made him even more outrageous.

Over time, the public became numb to it.

After all, life must go on.

Abel's hand rested on the name; perhaps he could make something of this guy.

The next day.

Abel used money to pave the way, and through layers of bribery, successfully placed a chest of valuable treasure in front of Prince Pengpeng.

Anyone who can associate with him is obviously a cut above the rest.

They were all greedy, lustful, and sycophantic.

But this is better, it makes things easier for him.

"This box of goods is in good condition. Tell me, who did you rob this time? I, the prince, will have to clean up your mess."

The official standing below, with his pointed face and monkey-like features, quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "I'm innocent! This box of treasure is a small gift that someone asked me to present to His Highness the Prince."

"I bet you've profited quite a bit from this too."

"Hehe, just a little bit, it's all thanks to His Highness's reputation."

"Alright, tell me, what is it?"

"That person is from out of town. He wants to open a chamber of commerce here and sell some cheap local specialties and trinkets."

"Do I look like a fool to you? These are just some worthless local specialties and trinkets. Is it really worth you making a special trip to bring them to me?"

Prince Pengpeng looked at his number one lackey with a mocking expression.

"Hehe, nothing can escape the prince's discerning eye. What they brought were indeed local specialties, but they were just little gadgets that can kill people."

As he spoke, he made a gesture.

Prince Pengpeng was also somewhat surprised upon seeing this, "Who is this person?"

"North Sea."

"Interesting. Make an appointment for me. Oh, and by the way, this woman in bed is yours."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

……

That evening, Abel went to the palace alone to keep his appointment.

Now that we know the other party is greedy and lustful, there's no need to bring Baby-5 along, lest it cause further trouble.

If he loses control and kills Prince Pengpeng, that would be terrible.

"Remember, Prince Pengpeng hates it when people say he's weak."

"As for whether you can persuade Princess Pengpeng, that's entirely up to you. That's all I have to say. No refunds will be given afterward."

After speaking in a low voice, the number one lackey pushed open the door to the room.

Inside, a rather effeminate guy was having a meal with the help of several maids.

With just a glance, someone would feed him what he wanted to eat, making one wonder if this guy had lost the ability to live independently.

No wonder she hates being called weak.

This is absolutely ridiculously weak!

Can't you even lift a fork?

"Who are you, and why do you not bow to this prince?"

Upon meeting, Prince Pengpeng gave him a hard time.

Abel's expression remained unchanged, but in his heart he had already sentenced the other man to death.

But not now.

“Your Highness, according to the customs of our hometown, guests who bring gifts are exempt from certain formalities.”

Abel immediately unleashed his ultimate move, opening the black leather suitcase in his hand to reveal it stuffed full of banknotes, at least tens of millions of Berries.

Prince Pengpeng glanced at it once, but couldn't take his eyes off it.

They already delivered it once before, why are they doing it again?

“Yes, I really like the gift you brought. Let’s just forget about the unnecessary formalities.”

"Please sit down. I'm very interested in the business you're interested in."

Abel casually put the box aside and then sat down opposite him.

"This involves trade secrets, Your Highness, why the rush?"

Prince Pengpeng was arrogant and domineering, not stupid. He immediately understood the hidden meaning in Abel's words and waved his hand, dismissing all the maids and guards in the room.

Inside the palace, he was not worried that the other party would dare to harm him.

"You can talk now."

"On the way here, I observed that the weapons used by your soldiers are still antiques from several years ago, and they are in very poor condition. I wonder if Your Highness would like to achieve some merit for your father to see? And shut up those who doubt you."

Prince Pengpeng's eyes flickered for a moment, "Tell me in detail."

Abel immediately laughed.

Sure enough, the more spoiled a person is, the more they actually want to achieve something to show everyone.
